Many of my colleagues and friends are birdwatchers. I’ve always joked around with them that birds are extremely overrated, compared to all those other lifeforms and landscapes out there. I don’t often see mosses and rocks attract hoards of middle aged men with way to big and expensive lenses, to put it very bluntly. 😉

But okay; confession. I think some birds are very cool, and since I bought a good pair of binoculars I also find myself watching them sometimes..

Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea)
Black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa)
Barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis)
Common loon (Gavia immer). My favourite bird!
